About Spruce Trail
The Spruce trail is aimed to improve riding skills, but do not underestimate its difficulty. It shares the ascent with the Rowan trail to where the trails split. A short rhythm section, then easy drop off is followed by some steep bermed corners. A fast descent flows through more turns and a fast finish, leading back on to the shared ascent. You have to descend the Rowan Trail to leave the site.
